If Scotland’s population of five million households was condensed into one street, what would it look like? According to new research from Barratt Homes, almost one third of Scots would live in a flat worth on average, £104,108.
Barratt’s single street analysis highlights four housing types – terraced, detached, semi-detached and flat/maisonette.
Using this model, around 1.5 million Scots (29 per cent) would be in flats; 1.35 million (26 per cent) in detached homes worth on average £252,492; 1.3 million (25 per cent) in semi-detached homes worth £152,352, and 1 million (20 per cent) in terraced homes worth £121,238. Douglas McLeod, regional managing director for Barratt Scotland, comments: “Our research provides unique insight into the make-up of the average residential street in Scotland – and a useful overview for buyers of what the property ladder looks like at present.
“Flats are a particularly prominent feature of residential life in Scotland – second only to London – however, the proportion of Scots living in different dwellings is relatively well spread compared to some other UK regions and this is reflected in the diversity of homes we build in Scotland.”
